Lilies: Lily Foliage, 1 by Leftwood

Okay, certainly not the best photo, and if I had thought this out I would have taken individual pics, but you’ll get the idea: to appreciate a less exciting feature of lilies – foliage. Really quite interesting, in my opinion.

Take note of :
the stiff leaf form of Lilium speciosum var. rubrum
the red-gray leaves of Soiree
the typical growth of orientpets, like Sarabande
the stubby leaves of Lilium lankongense
the diversity of asiatic foliage as shown with Shirley, Tiger Babies, Sunday Dress, Kathy Jan and others
the almost lacey quality of Lilium leucanthum
the characteristic absence of lower leaves on Lilium davidii

Now I expect you all to dig up this thread come spring, and add some good pics displaying the many leaves of lilies.
